Interior
\nMinister Ambrose Dery has asked personnel of the Ghana Police Service (GPS) not
\nto let the recent killings of their colleagues demoralise them.<\/p>\n

They should rather, he said, work hard as protectors of society in
\nfulfillment of their calling. <\/p>\n

He encouraged them during an engagement with personnel of the GPS at the
\nBrong-Ahafo Regional Police Headquarters in Sunyani yesterday as part of a
\nday\u2019s working visit to the region.<\/p>\n

The objective of the visit was to enable him to learn at first hand
\nchallenges confronting personnel and determine how to address these with a view
\nto enhancing their efficiency at protecting lives and property in their
\njurisdiction.<\/p>\n

The minister held similar engagements with personnel of sister security
\nservices such as the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS), Narcotics Control
\nBoard, Ghana Immigration Service, National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO)
\nand the Ghana Peace Council.<\/p>\n

Mr. Dery assured personnel in case of fatality in the course of
\ntheir work, government would pay their dependants their due.<\/p>\n

He added that efforts were underway to equip the security agencies with
\nthe necessary tools so they would be efficient. <\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cThe police service would soon
\ntake delivery of two helicopters as part of retooling the service to enhance
\ntheir operation,\u201d Mr. Dery hinted. <\/p>\n

The minister directed regional commanders to ensure that personnel on
\nduty wear bulletproof vests and to sanction those who breach the order.<\/p>\n

During questions time, he dispelled rumours about the scrapping of \u2018Cap
\n30\u2019 for service personnel, explaining however that government was working out
\nimproved arrangements to ensure their welfare during active service or on retirement.<\/p>\n

The complaint about lack of adequate vehicles for operations was common
\nto all the security agencies the minister engaged with. <\/p>\n
